Sounds great. It was getting to be a bit of a slog with the division. You would think that one could just check all the forums but it never worked out that way for me...odd.

My group is starting our epic game this week. The players started at 1st and took a break at the end of each tier as I had made each tier a mini campaign. So the over arching storyline remains constant but it is almost like a fresh start as there are no loose ends dangling from the prior tier...

So timely! My 4e campaign is set in Karameikos and I’m running a modified “Wrath of the Immortals”. I ran “Nights Dark Terror” at heroic tier and we JUST wrapped up “Red Arrow. Black Shield” for paragon. Naturally I turned to all my Master adventures for epic and I’m struggling to decide how...

I'm running a Known World game right now. It plays perfectly. My players (who had no knowledge of the world) have thrown themselves into the setting more then any other game I have run for them. Of course it may have something to do with the fact I grew up with this setting in the 80's and...

I use Minions in about a third of my encounters. It rewards the characters that are focused on clearing minions and also keeps some doubt about what is a minion or not. I don't identify minions out of the gate, I let my players figures that out for themselves in the course of the fight. I...

I prefer DM'ing to playing any edition. I LOVE running 4E.

I would love to play Bandit Kings of Ancient China again. I remember going over to my friends house and playing that game hot seat. That and also Empire. We used to have a three player game of Empire going while playing Axis and Allies on a table. Good times. Bandit Kings of Ancient China...

I would love for a turn based game using 4E. We'll never get it though.

I'm running Rise of the Rune Lords 3.5 rights now; my players are about tenth level and we are into book four. We like the world and plan on running Crimson Throne as a 4E game with a bit of work from me. We really like 4th edition and are excited to start playing but at the same time we are...

I know that I could take PC death out of the game. My point is that the same players who complain that they are having a hard time getting into the campaign with new characters after a TPK are the same ones who would sputter "what's the point" if negative 10 didn't mean dead. It's the culture...

One game i ran my players waltzed into a hill giant lair and got rocked. It should have been a cake walk but they just handled it wrong...they divided their attacks and some were slow to engage and the high initiative rouge went bounding into the middle of a pack of hill giants and got smacked...

I'm terrified about TPKs. I worry about certain encounters and then my guys will rock it untouched in two rounds. It's the encounters that look innocent that wipe out my players and take me totally by surprise. It's the encounters that when taken in part are a breeze but when combined...

This looks good. I leveled a LFR character to third level at Gen Con. I've been looking for a chance to use him again. When will a schedule go up? Edit...Found the schedule, never mind.

I'm interested in finding out how it works out for the OP. I'm in the middle of RotRL and the specter of 4th edition is looming. There is a lot of internal debate about what to do for the next campaign. We want to move on to the next adventure path and many are fighting to stick to 3.5 to...

Man oh man...initiative. I remember when word got out that initiative was rolled once before combat and the player retained that result for the entire fight there was pandemonium. My group was ready to house rule it sight unseen. Man, we were wrong. Whenever I get nervous about 4e it's...

There are also looters in Foundation of Flame. One of my players was feeling particularly frustrated with the situation and launched a fireball into the crowd. The paladin took offense and turned on the character. I started to get nervous but they handled it well and it made some interesting...

One way I highlight a villain from the beginning is to showcase his actions behind the screen in a "cut scene". As long as the the mystery of the game is not figuring out who a bad guy is this is a great way for your player (as opposed to the characters) to get to know the bad guys. And these...

When I moved from Greenwich to Hamden I left my group about an hour away and it didn't make sense to drive that distance every week. So I ended up putting out a call for players on this board and it worked well. I gave all the new players the same goal and went around the table hoping they...
